That looks really sweet! I love children’s books. I have to control myself not to go overboard!
such a sweet book. what a great recommendation.
Purchased this book a couple of weeks ago for my knitting sister.
I just bought this book! I’m totally in love with it. I even read it out loud, storytime-style, to some of my friends. (We’re all knitters and spinners.) They loved it too!
Jon Klassen really is just the best, isn’t he? Darling book!
I love this book! I’m so glad it’s getting the attention it deserves!
we checked this out last week and yes, my kids DID love it! such a cute story. we also checked out “Do You Know Which Ones Will Grow?” by Susan Shea. Does a shirt grow into a sweater or car into a truck – it’s really funny! my kids were giggling…
That just looks totally darling!!! Really!!!
For older readers who enjoy Jon Klassen’s artwork, I would highly recommend the “The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place” series by Maryrose Wood. Delightful and charming stories, and Mr. Klassen’s artwork is the absolute cherry on top! I’ve really been enjoying them and am looking forward to book 3 (due in March).

oh! oh! oh! that book is looking like it must be part of our collection. But wait, does that mean I’d actually have to read it to my kids? TOTALLY KIDDING!! We love story time at our house.
cheers!
Adorable book! I really want to check it out. You have an amazing blog, I just enjoyed reading some of your posts :) xo akiko

Oh, I love your book series! I don’t have children yet, but that doesn’t mean I am without a hefty picture book collection. Such fun!
This seems to be so cute. I´ll have to find out, if there is a German version.

(btw: I keep on forgetting to recomend you “The Gruffalo. If you do not allready know it, you have to check it out, the story is the sweetest thing you´ve ever heard! And it´s funny!)
Sounds like a sweet story, and I just love the illustration!
Thanks for the recommendation – I just put out a library request.
As a knitter and textile enthusiast, I was thrilled to see this book recommendation. I know several children and adults I will be giving it to.
I think I’m going to have to incorporate this into my sewing series “Once Upon a Thread!” Looks fabulous.
In case anyone lives in the Bay Area in California, the authors will be doing a reading of this book at Hicklebee’s, Tuesday, March 6 at 3 pm.
I loved this book too. I did a review of it also and just saw yours — it was fun to see which pages you picked to show. The ones I chose were all different (you can see my review here: http://www.supermommoments.com/2012/01/extra-yarn/). I swear every page in this book is a piece of art!
